Additional Information

This ship isn't a big threat in the air. All craft weapons except the Cannon outrange its weaponry, and it's not very fast or resilient (indeed, powerful weapons such as the Avalanche or Plasma Beam will sometimes destroy it outright). On the ground, however, it can be a tricky customer. Your soldiers can only enter through a single door, which is usually guarded by the surviving occupants. The mutual surprise rule means that the first soldier will usually make it through the door without being killed, but his very next action will trigger point-blank reaction fire from as many as 5 aliens.

This ship carries one Power Source, and two Navigations.

This is a one-level ship, octagon-shaped, with no interior walls and the power source in the center of the craft.

Several aliens will be inside the ship and a few outside during missions. Sometimes the aliens can hide behind the power source so be sure to check the corners after breaching the doors!

If you're unlucky, and the power source was destroyed during the crash, there'll be a nice big hole in the ship during recovery. The location of the hole varies. Feel free to toss big explosives into the hole as there will be no elerium to recover anyway. This might, however, destroy the equipment that was carried by those aliens killed in the crash.

Notes

• If there's no other way to enter aside from the hatch, your best bet may be to set up a firing line outside-- the sort used in Reaction Training-- and wait them out. The aliens will usually start coming out soon after turn 20. Anyone trying to charge through that hatch will probably run into at least 2, usually more, aliens on the inside waiting to shoot anyone who comes through.
• If they REFUSE to come out from an intact UFO, and you have to send in a suicidal sacrificial rookie, arm him with a AC-IN, and Auto-Fire everything inside. If you're lucky, he will kill all aliens inside while leaving the items intact. (If you're really cheap, you can exploit the north, west and diagonal walls and roast them in the shell.)
